In Haapsalu, Kuressaare and Kärdla the composer and conductor Pärt Uusberg presents to the audience the programme of David's songs composed by both Cyrillus Kreek and Uusberg himself. The young composer's freshly created in 2019 the 'Song of Praise' cycle, where fragments of David's songs are interwoven with Ernst Enno's poetic works, is accompanied by one of the most beloved choir music pieces by C. Kreek. The concert is the remembrance of the anniversaries of the two Haapsalu artists: Kreek 130 and Enno 145. The church vaults will vibrate with music in the performance of  Pärt Uusberg, his founded chamber choir Head Ööd, Vend and Nargenfestival orchestra.
